Conveniently close to the bus stop. 2 out 3 beds very comfy and the extra blankets were most appreciated. Food provided at the hostel opposite was good. Very basic no frills room, ignore the well staged photos and description.

Staying at this hostal was one of the most heartwarming and memorable experiences of our trip. The family who owns it are truly some of the most friendly and hospitable people we’ve ever met. From the moment we arrived, we felt more like cherished guests than just travelers passing through.
Maria, the host, cooked us an incredible chicken soup using chickens from their own farm — it was not only delicious but made with so much care. She also invited us to try marocho con leche, a traditional Ecuadorian treat we had never tasted before, and it was absolutely delicious!
What made this stay truly special were the hours we spent just talking with them — learning about their lives, their culture, and about Ecuador. It felt like being welcomed into someone’s home, not just a place to sleep.
Another amazing touch was that we could choose the time for breakfast, which meant we were perfectly set up for the next day, ready to leave exactly when we needed to. That kind of flexibility and thoughtfulness made all the difference.
For anyone far from home and missing the warmth of family, this is the place to come. They treat you like one of their own. On top of all that, the hostal itself was very clean, cozy, and the perfect spot to rest and recharge for the next day’s hike.
We can’t recommend this place enough — it’s more than just accommodation, it’s an experience of true Ecuadorian hospitality.
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
The host are very nice and helpful. I had a late bus from Quito and arrived late at 9, Victor came to pick me up and they still cooked me a very nice dinner. Victor also provided me with very helpful information about Quilotoa loop. The room itself is also a nice one.
Lovely little hostel with insane views over the mountains. The room was little but very comfy. The host and the lama are super nice. We got free water, tee, and coffee and had a good lunch and breagt breakfast. For 3 USD, we got a lunchbox with a sandwich, apple, banana, cookies, chocolate, and little sweets. Just great. The host even gave us 2 poles for the hike. There is also a luggage transfer for 20 USD to the final hostel in Quilotoa. Definitely recommend.
Perfect place to stay in Sigchos for the Quilotoa loop as the trail starts next to the property. Viktor (unsure of spelling) was a lovely host and helpful. The views from the garden are amazing. The evening meal consisted of soup, meat, rice and juice. Breakfast was fruit, oats, yoghurt, eggs, bread and juice. Free tea, coffee and water. Packed lunches are available and well priced for what you get. Strong WiFi, hot shower and comfortable room.
The hostel is super cosy and has a beautiful view over the valley. The owners are super kind and the food is delicious! We had a comfortable room with bathroom. Also the location is super convenient right at the start of the walk. It is very quite and peaceful in the evenings. And they offer packed lunch which you can take with you on the walk. Definitely recommend to stay here!
Starlight Inn is the ideal place to start the Quilotoa hike. Located just outside Sigchos the hostel provides excellent vistas of the surrounding countryside and is as charming during the sunset as it is at dawn. Billiard, board games, and a llama all included!
The owner was very welcoming and caring and provided us with a tasty and fulfilling dinner and breakfast. I had this hostel as the starting point for the 3-day Quilotoa hike. I especially liked that the owner doublechecked on my planned route. If you're lucky with the weather, you have a great scenery from there as well as a good outlook on the first part of the trip.
lovely house in magical peaceful location

delicious supper provided on request, fabulous breakfast too!
